New Short Fiction: Through a Filter Dimly

Just Published by Literary Heist: New Short Fiction

New Short Fiction! My short story Through a Filter Dimly has just been published by the good folks at Literary Heist.

When everyone who can afford the cost is beautiful, what is left for the rest of us? This story is a mashup of literary fiction and slipstream satire.
